Inuyasha X
Chapter 11
"A savior"
By MEGAMANX411
Sigma had been brutally beating Kagome and Iris. Kagome had spat up some blood, and she had bruises everywhere. Iris was in no better shape. Inuyahsa and Zero grew increasingly angry and full of rage, but there was little they could do about it. Sigma's stun effect was even stronger than it was last time, and it would take some time to break it. Time that they didn't have.
Zero was clenching his teeth in an effort to aid his struggle.
"God damn it..." he muttered under his breath. "Isn't there anything I can do...??"
Zero then heard a noise in the distance. It was a high-pitched noise emitting a high-frequency. He could detect high levels of energy coming from that direction. He tried to concentrate on what it was, but he couldn't place it.
"What is..?" he whispered to himself quietly.
All of the sudden, Zero heard the sound of a huge burst of energy, and milliseconds later, a large collection of energy streamed past Zero and flew right towards Sigma. At that time, Sigma was looking down on Kagome and Iris as he kicked them. Sigma was too busy looking down upon his prey to notice.
"Hehehe...huh?!"
The blast caught Sigma square in the chest, and knocked him backwards at least 20 feet. The resulting damage was quite extensive to his chest.
Zero's mouth fell.
"What..what the hell was that?!" he stammered.
Zero then breathed a huge sigh of relief as he heard a familiar voice.
"Zero! Zero, where are you?!" the voice cried frantically.
Zero's eyes widened a little.
"Is that..you...X?" he stammered.
Then Zero saw Mega Man X emerge from the bushes.
X quickly scanned the area, and saw the extensive injuries of the group.
"What's going on here?" he cried.
Zero quickly noticed Sigma getting back up.
"No time!" he shouted. "Sigma's getting up! Buy me some time!"
X nodded in confirmation of his partner's request.
"Gotcha."
Mega Man X slowly walked past, and he then saw Iris and Kagome injured on the ground.
X bent down, and placed his hand on Kagome's shoulder.
"Are you alright? Don't worry, I'll get you out of here..." he said in a comforting tone.
He did the same for Iris soon after. Sigma got back to his feet, and bared a vicious smile.
"You won't be doing anything!" he threatened.
X turned to see his old nemesis.
"Sigma..." he said with the utmost disgust. "I should've known you'd be here."
Sigma shook his head.
"You just had to interfere X," he began. "You're always a nuisance. I was about to reform Zero."
Even though X had somewhat gotten used to Sigma's vile schemes, he could never comprehend his vicious mind.
"By injuring innocent people?!" he shouted. "You're...disgusting!"
X shook his head, and quickly moved Iris and Kagome out of the way, and started wrapping bandages on them. Sigma clenched his fist.
"Don't you dare turn your back to me!" he threatened.
X finished what he was doing, and stood back up.
"Why do you keep doing this?" he asked. "It isn't right!"
Sigma smiled.
"Why shouldn't I?"
X was speechless.
"But..." was all he could muster.
Sigma looked at X, and started chuckling, but then he had a revelation.
"Wait a minute" he stammered. "You're just buying time for your friends! Argh, damn! I should have seen it sooner! I'll just have to kill you fast!"
Oh no, X thought, I don't think Zero and the other had enough time to recover..I need to protect them!
Sigma rushed at X and drew a saber he had hidden. X managed to back away, but Sigma still clipped his chest a little. X raised his X-Buster and fired at Sigma.
"Take this!" he shouted angrily.
Much to his dismay, Sigma brought up his saber to block it. X then fired his Lightning Web, which wrapped itself onto Sigma, and made him drop his saber. He tried to follow the attack up, but Sigma broke free of the attack, and continued his offensive.
X looked at Sigma in horror.
"Man..why is he so much stronger..??" he questioned aloud.
Sigma smiled.
"The Sacred Jewel," he muttered.
X raised his brow.
"What?" he asked.
Sigma continued.
"It's the power of the Sacred Jewel that makes me stronger," he added.
X gave a smirk.
"Then I just need to..." he began.
However, before he could finish narrating his plan, Sigma punched X, and knocked him backwards. Sigma then tried to come back and grab him again, but X used his Frost Tower, an attack where X encases himself in ice, which prevented Sigma from getting close. X then broke his Frost Tower, and used Soul Body (another one of X's special attacks that allows him to attack while emitting a hologram decoy).
Sigma put his hand on his chin, and closed his eyes as if he were in deep thought.
"Soul Body," he began. "I know that attack. It's useless to attack you because it won't work...it's a hologram. The real X is hidden to my eyes. But the thing is...."
Sigma quickly turned around and did a round-house kick.He smiled with a certain satisfaction seeing X wincing in pain.
"I see you!" he said gleefully.
X was completely dumbfounded.
"Ugh..but how?" he stammered.
Sigma shrugged and rolled his eyes.
"I told you," he said in a matter-of-factly tone. "It's the Sacred Shikon Jewel."
X tensed his body, and clenched his fist.
"Oh yeah...!!!" he shouted.
X began charging his buster. He then noticed Kagome was aiming her bow at Sigma. Everyone could see the pain in Kagome's eyes as she held the bow, her hands were very injured, but her resolve was immense. She stood there, ready with her bow.
"Sigma!" she shouted as she fought back the horrible pain. "Without the jewel, you're nothing!"
